A subset of the language keeps getting better and better you just need to ignore the demon of many decades of bloated nonsense. So for new projects it can even be pleasant until you run into something that makes you wanna go rust

  I guess you'll be stuck using something like Plan 9 then.

      That is an extremely condescending, rude and arrogant response for a harmless comment. HN deserves better.

        I found their comment hilarious... I can't tell if it's satire or not. There's just too much going on at the same time for this not to be trolling lol

        This describes basically all their comments in this thread, which seems to be basically all their comments ever on this 3 day old seemingly troll account.

  Have you heard of Microsoft's C++ elimination plan? They are building an LLM based transpiler that automatically turns all C++ code into Rust. In a couple of years, there won't be a single line of C++ left... Isn't that wonderful?

      Yep, not a single line left. Retired quicker than COBOL. Won't even be any maintenance jobs for legacy systems left.

        Well I don't think anyone would pay for the COBOL to Java conversion software. Since it's no longer New Years Eve, I'm a bit more sober :p Programming language to programming language conversions seems to be one of the things LLMs are actually good at. Whether they can actually do it or not is an open question. CEOs will mandate security so the CSOs will mandate Rust over C/C++ and so Rust will slowly take over C++ in next 20 years. Can't see anything in C++'s defense other than it's legacy. The drawback of sticking every feature from every language into your language is that it becomes a massive security hazard. huh? I'm currently at $1500 Monthly Recurring Revenue, so I'm currently between seeing if I can increase that or if need to get a job. I'll find out in a couple of months.
